  • Intro:- Bm, A, Bm X2
     
    Bm, G, A X2
  • Bm, A, G, A X2
     
    Verse:-
  •  
    Bm A G A
    Some folks say that I\'ve got the perfect life
  •  
    Bm A G A
    Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
  •  
    (Basically thats it for the verses, just listen to
    the rhythm for when to change chords)
  •  
    Interlude1 - the steel drum bit (do a \"Misirlou\" type picking here for the 1st time round)
    (the Pulp Fiction theme for those who don\'t know the song!)
  •  
    This bit is repeated twice by the steel drums:
    e |-------------------------------|
  • b |---3/7/3---3/5/2---2--0--2--3--| (the / means slide)
    g |-------------------------------| 3 slide to 7 etc
     
  • Verse 2 follows - which is basically the same then....
     
    G A D A Bm
  • Come back, Come back, Back to Jamaica
    G A D A Bm
    Don\'t you know we made a big mistaka
  • G A D A Bm
    We\'d be so sad, if you told us goodbye
    G F#m
  • And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
     
    The interludey bit here is Bm, G, A X2 then Bm, A, G, A X2 which then goes back to the
  • verse structure. (Same as above) The slide bit follows then the chorus....
    The fasty bit is next which is:-
    Bm, A, G, F#m, F, D, F, F#m - try the tab here (the bass line) to get the basic rhythm of it:-
  • e |--------------------------------------------------------------|
    b |--------------------------------------------------------------|
    g |--------------------------------------------------------------|
  • d |--------------------------------------------------------------|
    a |--------------------10--10--10--9--9--9--8--8--8--8--5--8--9--|
    e |--7--7--7--5--5--5--------------------------------------------|
  • For the above bit - play the chords higher up on the fretboard.
    Like the Bm on the 8th fret, the A on the 5th then the G on the 10th and F#m on the 9th etc etc..
    I think the solos in B but I\'ll let ya know bout this later.
  • The end bit: Promise not to shoot you..... goes:
    G, F#m, F, F#m, F, D, Bm - again, play this bit further down the fretboard.
